I'm guessing this is a hydrofoil board and the paddle has two handles for the top hand. One for when the board is being paddled normally at sea level and an extension on top for when the board is up on the foil.

Damn it looks ugly though, all of it.

Thanks DJ, we can rely on you for weird stuff !!

Doggie, yeah I understand it won't work until you're on a wave....

Seriously Gizzie thanks for rubbing it in. If you are Laird you wake up in the morning and like the rest of us you have a few choices...shall I go for the early before work or just stay in bed....Laird has much bigger problems and choices to deal with...sup, surf, kite, hydrofoil, play volley ball with wife and her mates, design something new....ummmmm or maybe just hang Out for a change. Tough life. Hats off though to him. He deserves it. Absolute legend.

Some great backyard engineering going on there. Very clever on the paddle.I wonder how long it will be before we see paddle in foil boards on big waves....

Great vid.. a bit long but worth watching.. oh yeah.. Turn the sound off.. (unless you speak their language)
